Is love only real and validated when you might say youre in a relationship?
Is love only real and validated when the person loves you back?
There is no single definition of love.
Thought.is
It comes in many forms.
The love between a parent and child.
The love between siblings.
Thought.is
The love in an intimate relationship.
The love you have for people in your inner circle.
You love who you love and that can come from whoever and be given freely to anyone.
Whether I know what an accurate definition of love actually is, is up for debate.
Is there a difference betweenloving someoneand falling in love?
Sometimes I wonder if it was love or infatuation.
Sometimes I wonder if I made everything up in my head.
But how could that be when every time I saw you my heart would physically beat faster?
How could that be when my face would get red whenever someone said your name?
I want to believe I meant it when I said I loved you.
I want to believe at least on my end it was real.
And unconditional love whether you felt the same way or not.
There is no single definition of what love really is.
But if I had to describe it simply, its like there wasnt anyone that made me happier.
There wasnt anyone who made me laugh harder.
There wasnt anyone who made me blush the way you did with subtle compliments.
And there wasnt anyone I would have done more for.
I literally would have done anything you asked of me.
Gone anymore at any moments notice.
If only you asked.
Its the conversations that last for hours and somehow you never run out of things to say.
Its something happening in your day and wanting to tell them first.
Its waking up and they are your first thought.
Maybe I dont know what love really is.
Because maybe the real definition is when someone loves you back.
But thats only part of it.
What if love is caring about someone unconditionally whether they can reciprocate it or not?
Caring about someone and putting their happiness above your own.
Maybe its loving someone and not needing it to be returned because those deep feelings are enough for you.
And whatever people may classify as love I think its up to you to define it yourself.
Its looking at someone and believing you’ve got the option to do anything because they are there.
Its looking at someone and just being happy they exist.
Its being the best version of yourself because of their influence and what they do give you.
And if you are really lucky, the person you love decides to love you back.
